2019 Cannes Yachting Festival Recap

The Cannes Yachting Festival has taken place every September since 1977. As Europe's top in-water boating event, the show routinely draws the major figures of yachting to the beautiful bay of Cannes. The 2019 festival was no exception, as attendees were wowed by new models, remarkable sights, and unforgettable experiences. This year's event doubled as a MarineMax Getaway!®, as Azimut yacht owners gathered to celebrate in one of the most picturesque locations in the world. The owners experienced an exquisite week in southern France, including day trips to Eze and Monaco, a Yachting Gala Parade of Yachts, and delectable meals.
